Hi Andreas, You can try PCA in matlab (using either svd or eig), pretty straight forward. Alternatively, you could simply concatenate all the maps into a new 4Dinput file and run melodic again (s,witching off variance norm). If you also select --Opca then you get the best of both worlds, i.e. the ICA on the maps and a PCA for free... our experience here has been that the ICA results look a bit more defined (often) hth Christian On 18 Dec 2008, at 15:54, Andreas Pedroni wrote: > We are currently trying to sort ICs from single subject melodic > analysis according to spatial similarities.

We tried fslcc before. _______________________________________________ Christian F.
